I believe those gorgeous pups and parents are Great Pyranees dogs, bred to heard cattle. I used to ride my neighbor’s Pyranees, Shotzy, like a pony when I was six. My Mom’s toy poodle would order Shotzy around, eat his food, all that stuff, and he’d just sigh and let her have her way. They are such sweeties. I want to ride in the cart with the puppers!

I’m soooo excited – a Great Pyranees on Cute Overload! I have a Great Pyranees – oh how I love my big boy! They are the cutest pups….but they do get BIG! My neighbors call him the neighborhood polar bear.

Watched an episode of scrubs yesterday when J.D cured a patient by yelling “a basket of kittens, stat!” and poured (purred?) them over the patient. This must be a pharmacy then with this overflow of puppies. I think im a bit sick too. Puppies, please!

Aww! I luffs da Great Pyrenees! My parents have them and they are gorgeous dogs. From my research they were bred to guard flocks of sheep (they are white to blend in) and they were also meant to be big enough to fed off wolves from harming their flock of sheep. This also makes them absolutely wonderful guard dogs because they become very attached to their family and will do anything to protect their family. They are fantastic around children as well.

@beardediris #34, I have the same problem at home. Every time I ask “can we get a dog?” my grumpy 19yr, old cat says “NO WAY!” And since she is the ruler of the house.. she wins.(We used to take a vote but the other cat voted on her side. Now I’m down to one cat.. the Queen.. she still gets her way.)

Are these on clearance or end-of-month special? Or Buy One, Get One Free?
Unadvertised store special? Do you take credit cards or personal checks? Just cash? *fumbles in purse*….I seem to have left my extra money at home in my other wallet…..Can I do a lay-away? O noes, the puppehs are running away, at least two have escaped from the shopping cart…..What to do, what to do???? :shock:

Oh I LOVE Great Pyrenees! I knew a family that had two of them, and they were named Paddington Bear and Bosco Bear. When they stood on their hind legs in a kennel and put their front paws on the door, they were about 6 feet tall! Beautiful, gentle giants. :) I’d have one in a heartbeat if Sunny would let me. :)

My Great Pyrenees, Penton, – “Beware leaves I shall attack you if you fall on me one more time!. Oh no, Bicycle coming at Four O’clock – duck under daddies big truck til it passes!” They are just the most lovable dogs…

heywaitaminnit! Could this be the next big eco-friendly cleaning product? Forget about vinegar and wadded up newspapers for your windows… use summa this here bloo stuff (in the cart…see?) and one of these fluzzy puffs and your windows will sbarkle.

OMG! I can’t believe I finally got a submission up on here! Those are indeed Great Pyrenees, owned by my lovable neighborhood eccentric (who we call “giant white dog guy”. I know, we are so creative). He takes the dogs everywhere with him, and the shopping cart is his solution to take the puppies all over the neighborhood too. I’m not sure what he is planning on doing with the puppies (he isn’t very talkative), but I can attest that mom and dad dog seem to be pretty much the loves of his life and are the sweetest pair ever.

Cool! These guys are my neighbors, everyone in the hood knows them. Momma and Poppa are the sweetest, mellowest dogs. I was surprised/elated the first day I saw the family out, I couldn’t stop watching the little ones roll around. As you can tell, their person is a little eccentric but obviously LOVES his dogs. (for any doubters – they are purebred Great Pyrenees)

Per breed afficianados, Great Pyreneese, Italian Maremma, Hungarian Kuvasz, Turkish Akbash and Polish Tatra are all variations of a related bloodlines and look a lot alike. And all beautiful, especially when doing naturally what they are bred for: sheepdogging.

oh thank you for posting great pyr pics! they are my favorite. they’re so lovable, mellow, and gentle…as gentle as a giant dog can be, of course :-) with a sweet disposition and happy to lounge around with you, they are the ultimate companion. i want a farmload of them so they can run around all day doing what they love and then keep me warm at night with their bear hugs. oh to dream…

OK so I’ve got two senior solid black pets. I’m used to black fur all over the place, I don’t any many light colored clothes. But right now I’m babysitting my sister’s champagne kitty and I can’t get over the light colored fur EVERYWHERE! So right now, when I see these pics all I can think is, OMG, their house must be covered in white fur! (It’s worth tho, isn’t it?)

I’m afraid their floof, would be too coarse for my delicate botty. That aside
there wonderful.

Naturalady – I think it must have been a Turkish Akbash, that chased after our coach
as we drove through the Turkish mountains. It kept up with the coach at,
at least 30 mph for quite some distance. Well we were near his sheep. :)

I assure you, dogs can make excellent cleaning tools. When I was growing up, we had a Sheltie who would eat any, and I mean ANY, food dropped on the kitchen or dining room floor. If you dropped it, you had better be quick, or you had better not try to pick it up! We called him the canine vacuum cleaner. Made it really easy to give him medicine…

Personally, I have found the Golden Retriever deluxe absolutely invaluable for removing baked-on cheese and sauce from oven dishes. Sadly, my current house did not come with one fitted and I have to make do with a far less thorough electric dishwasher.

OMG! How could you do this to me? My Giant White Fluffy Puppy is 3 yrs old this month and we haven’t had a baby puppy in the house since then. I’m dying for another Pyr and you post these pics!!! Are not they the cutest floofiest little polar bears you’ve ever seen? Will I get a discount if I take all of them?

@ Jess:
They look pretty roly-poly and small (relatively speaking); I’m guessing they still sleep in a similar pile. So I’m guessing it’s because they’d tucker out long before mommy and daddy mountains-of-dog would (like, at the end of the front walk), but mommy dog would spend the whole walk whining and pulling homeward if taken out without them. Whining, okay, but I would NOT want a dog that size to get in a mood to pull. Besides, if he’s looking for homes for them… Advertise early, advertise often? :D

Wait, this is in Portland? I must go see them immediatleh! Where is this fabulous hood? It looks downtowny, but “eccentric dog-owner” is a quality found anywhere from NE to Sellwood. Actually, that describes most of Portland. We loves us our doggies.

@Janni… thanks for the tip about the Cuvac doggies. They are all beautiful. I’ve been a dog-watcher, like others are bird-watchers, since forever. I absolutely loooove seeing one I’ve never seen before and running home and finding it in one of my books. When several breeds look so much alike it can be corn-fusing. But now folks are crossing every pure-bred with every other purebred and making mutt pies out of breed recognition. But we love them all, don’t we….

Like I said I’m used to black fur. Wear a lot of black clothes, the fur doesn’t become an issue. But with a new light colored ursurper in the house……ACK!!!! It’s EVERYWHERE! I plan on collecting black furred animals. Dogs, cats, rats, goats. I even saw a solid black duck once…..

But yes this family is gorgeous. They make you want to dive into that basket. And bed sharing with the momma and poppa! Sheesh! I’m having trouble convincing my medium-ish lab that sleeping on the bed is a privilege, not a right! Making the whole house black would be a bit much even for me, tho, lol!!! I’m babbling – it’s 3AM and I’m going to bed. G’nite COers!

I’m almost crying over here! As a little girl on the farm, we had the sweetest GP, Abby (who I secretly called “Aslan” because she reminded me of The Great Lion). These pictures and videos made me miss our giant, kind, elegant, floofy, slobbery Great Pyranees. *Sniffles.*

Yep, pretty much all true generally, mine aren’t as protective as most because they’ve been down at the restaurant being played with by everybody. They think everybody is wonderful. I didn’t want a “guard” dog, more trouble than it’s worth to me. I wanted, and have, a bunch of big friendly love sponges.

I just wanted to jump on the Great Pyrenees are awesome bandwagon. We had one growing up and she was an angel.. Seriously such a teddy bear. Once my hubby and I get on some land we are definitely getting one ourselves, but right now one big dog in the burbs is plenty. I love these so much.
